Giuseppe Cifonelli founded his bespoke tailoring company in Rome in 1880, crafting custom-fit suits for Italian gentlemen of means. Seeking to expand the brand’s influence abroad, his son Arturo relocated the company to Paris in 1926 after completing his training at the Minister’s Cutting Academy in London. Today, Cifonelli’s great-grandson Massimo and his cousin Lorenzo continue the brand’s legacy of combining precise British tailoring with soft Italian construction.
